Guest guest Posted May 25, 1999 Report Share Posted May 25, 1999 For all of you considering magnet therapy for your RLS, a few thoughts. Ever since a 1979 study reported that children in Denver who had died from cancer were two to three times more likely to have lived withing 130 feet of a high-voltage power line, the controversy over the health effects of electric and magnetic fields was born. Personally, I think electric and/or magnetic fields are not good for you and I don't care what the " government " says about it. When the government says: " EMF (electric and magnetic fields) risk is probably quite small, " I usually assume the opposite! EMF's generate weak current in our bodies......they may depress the brain's secretion of melatonin, which regulates SLEEP! Other studies suggest that EMFs may foster tumor growth by altering hormone levels and enzyme production. Again, RLS usually won't kill ya but cancer will! Now, if you don't care about your risk for cancer, perhaps you might care about songbirds in America. Huh? The songbirds in America use magnetic fields to help migrate at night........if all of you are wearing magnets & sleeping on magnets and notice a bunch of birds flying around your head..........you get the picture. This is a play on a real problem in that communication towers cause much mortality amongst songbirds. As par, IMHO. RAINBOWPED@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
